I think every army that had to defend their home country would have preferred doing other things, and until 2022 i honestly tought that invasions were a thing of the past, at least in Europe. Russia showed otherwise, now i think that being capable of defending yourself is important. You dont have to have a ginormous army like the US but you have to be enough of a threat that somebody would think twice before attacking.
I live in Australia and until 2024 I thought we don’t need an army, we’re so far from any threats. But now I think we need to build drone bombers so we can drone strike some IDF bases.
